Riad Miah reflects on the paintings of Johannes Vermeer.

Miah writes that Vermeer's works "are open invitations to looking long and carefully. And the act of looking and investigating, combing through the details of his paintings are at the core of what I find so sustaining. In a world where we can find boundless information on anything we are looking for at our fingertips and just a few clicks away, it is satisfying to look at a painting by Vermeer and slow down time and focus on just a few bits of visual information."
